The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $856,412 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (the University) to conduct research exploring the feedback between the physiological performance and social foraging dynamics of wintering songbirds. The project aims to: (1) quantify the effects of physiological variation on social network stability in response to ambient temperature changes; (2) experimentally...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research aimed at incorporating behavioral science insights into models for predicting the eco-evolutionary responses of North American bird species to climate change. The $901,999 award to the University of Texas at Austin, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will leverage indicators of behavioral flexibility, such as relative brain size, to improve forecasts of changes in...
This $297,323 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Environmental Biology under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program. The funding supports a collaborative research project to study how habitat structure, specifically the spatial arrangement of plants and resources, impacts avian biodiversity across local to continental scales. Using airborne and satellite Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors, the project will explore the...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $298,529 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program to Colorado State University. The grant, titled "EAGER: Harnessing Citizen Science to Disentangle the Social and Ecological Drivers of Urban Biodiversity," aims to explore how socioeconomic factors affect biodiversity in cities. The research will analyze data from citizen science projects like eBird to identify and quantify biases related to socioeconomic status,...
This $532,655 multi-year Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) supports research at Utah State University (USU) to deepen the understanding of how birds respond to their environmental surroundings. The project aims to: 1) characterize the spatial scales at which hundreds of North American bird species respond to various environmental factors; 2) test hypotheses about the mechanisms generating these scale-dependent...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $802,385 Project Grant under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of Massachusetts, through its Office of Grant & Contract Administration, for a 4-year research project. The project aims to examine the feedback between the physiological performance and social foraging behavior of wintering songbird populations. The research will: (1) quantify the effects of physiological variation on social network stability; (2)...
This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $973,030 supports research into the rapid phenotypic evolution of pigmentation genes in South American seed-eating birds (genus Sporophila) through 2025. Funded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), the award enables detailed study of the chemical, structural, and genetic mechanisms underlying color production and patterning in avian feathers. Researchers from Cornell University will analyze pigment composition, nano- and...
This Project Grant award of $270,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) program supports a 3-year postdoctoral research fellowship to study how introduced parrot populations in Southern California are adapting to urban environments. The research aims to use these parrot populations as a "natural experiment" to understand the speed and mechanisms of evolutionary adaptation in vertebrates facing rapid environmental changes like urbanization. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant, awarded under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074), provides $240,000 in funding for a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship focused on studying the impact of sociality on evolution. The fellowship supports a research and training plan that aims to increase the participation of underrepresented groups in biology. Key components include: Implementing a grant writing workshop to enhance the diversity of postdoctoral scholars in the U.S....
This federal Project Grant award for $961,030 was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University. The award period runs from January 15, 2025 through December 31, 2028. The goal of the research is to understand how behavioral responses can help animals cope with the challenges of increasing temperatures and heatwaves. The project will study a cavity-nesting bird species that...
